Labtekwon is a phoenix rising in the underground hiphop scene, already having shared the stage with A Tribe Called Quest, Brand Nubian, KRS-One, and Digital Underground. He has left his mark on 17 releases including 12 full lengths on his own Ankh Ba Records. Noting Labtek’s varied discography Urb called him ‘the most eclectic MF to ever emerge from Baltimore.’ From his 12’ ‘I Am Here’ to his work on the compilation ‘Connected’, Labtek has put a brand on the underground scene for posterity and die hard collectors alike. His 1998 full length ‘Nile Child’ is widely held as an underground classic and has landed him a seed in the 1999 Urb Next 100. Some artists change the form from deep down and never see the light of day, but Labtek has made it to the surface and only applause will follow.
